Need 6.5x284 Norma dies

[Aquatic_Robotic]

Been looking for a set of 6.5x285 Norma dies and can't find any. Find lots of 65.x284 Win dies for sale.

Is there any difference in these two sets of dies?

Can they be interchanged to reload either cartridge?

Looking at Forster's. Good choice?

Haven't reloaded in 30 years. Still have old RCBS press and assorted ther goodies from the "Jurasic Period". What is out that there now that I need to make the reloading process faster, but still accurate.

Thanks

Thanks

The dies are the same, I don't think I've ever seen 6.5x284 Norma dies. Most just say 6.5x284.

The difference between the two is the Norma chamber has a longer throat. Most guns chambered today are Norma.
The dies are not affected by this.

The Norma is slightly larger in the base diameter. If your dies are working the base too much use a little 600 grit sand paper on a dowel and hone them a tad. Works fine.
